Dear user,
We regret to inform you payment for the following item has been rejected: [George Forman Grill]. Unfortunately at some point some of the funds coming into the address in question have been associated with some other ones that were associated with: [Smack].
Would you prefer another payment option?

I'd like to know what kind of coins are being rejected by Bitpay. Can anyone shed any further details on some examples of rejected coins?
Probably coins from known addresses involved in receiving stolen coins. Its hard to argue against blacklists, but where do you draw the line? It is immoral to do business with thieves.
That's partly the issue -- tainting coins doesn't mean doing business with thieves. It especially hurts casual users like you or I, who don't pay for extensive taint analysis on coins we transact with. So, if we sell some Steam codes or physical coins on the forum and receive some "tainted" coins, how are we to know?
......And when we go to spend those coins? Coinbase might drop us as customers. Bitpay might tell our vendors to stop doing business with us. And maybe this is only the beginning.... hopefully LEO doesn't end up knocking at our doors.
There are companies doing blockchain and risk assessment of transactions, e.g.
http://www.coinalytics.co/solutions
But i think they are mostly for businesses, not for individual customers. Bitpay is using coinalytics for example.
That's my point. Businesses are doing taint analysis on coins that we use. But we aren't doing it for p2p transactions (i.e. what bitcoin was intended for).

As blockchain analysis and data mining techniques keep get better with time, this is exactly what is going to happen on a regular basis.

Blacklists are very bad! Simply because they lead to sad possibility that mine bitcoins are not as good as yours, thus value of 1 btc != 1 btc.
Blacklists are not evil. Only people can be evil. Don't put blacklists on coins, put them on addresses instead.
How this solves this issue? All bitcoins have public history. Banning some address could also ban every coin which can be associated with a given blacklisted address.

Anonymity is taking a troll on things and hard to differentiate between white coins and black coins

There maybe many reasons. For example, Coinbase was rejecting gambling related transactions:

Andreas Antonopoulos was asked already ask about BitPay blocking transactions. He said:

we really need to address the issue of fungibility. Blacklists are inherently evil, as they seed control to the author of the blacklist and that control is absolute.

I will be the first to admit that I don't often spend bitcoins like cash--I've come to view cryptocurrency as a speculation tool and as a store of value. But I did buy some precious metals from Provident last year and I do believe the transaction was processed through Bitpay. I'm not 100% sure. It was fairly painless, though for some reason I had to transfer btc to my Xapo wallet, because Mycelium wasn't allowing the bitcoin to be withdrawn.
It's not as if these guys have much choice is it? Banks and lawmakers must be itching for a reason to shut them down. I wouldn't wanna be their compliance team.
I can certainly appreciate that.
